Fans get to give another expression of appreciation for a band beloved around these parts.
Canada has made Hedley into one of the nation's hottest rock bands ever, but Prince George has especially deep connections since guitar player Dave Rosin calls this his hometown.
Hedley has frequently included P.G. on their travels, and they are coming back again on their cross-Canada 2018 Cageless Tour. Their upcoming album, the band's seventh, bears the same name.
"Performing live is truly what Hedley are all about," said frontman Jacob Hoggard. "Touring from coast to coast and being able to bring the music directly to our incredible fans is like a constant thirst for us. We are hitting more markets than ever before, the production is bigger and better, and as always, we have lots of tricks up our sleeve. We can't wait to share this show with the world."
Joining Hedley is another British Columbia gift to the music world. Shawn Hook is a poppy yet gritty solo star who comes from Nelson and has provided a solid soundtrack for modern B.C. society. In 2016 he was a nominee for the coveted Juno Fan Choice Award. His recent single Reminding Me, a duet with pop star Vanessa Hudgens, lit up the downloads this past summer.
A third act joining Hedley is Halifax pop-rock band Neon Dreams, riding high on the single Marching Bands with guest rapper Kardinal Offishal.
Hedley, over the course of their career, has sold more than a million albums, surpassed four million singles sales, they've hit No. 1 with their videos 18 times on MuchMusic, won four SOCAN awards and two Juno Awards.
The leadoff single from Cageless is the rocketing song Love Again which was the most added first single in the history of the band and quickly rose to Top 10 at three different listening formats.
On Thursday Hedley launched an offering of VIP packages exclusively on the band's hedleyvip.com website. The packages include exclusive merchandise, a meet and greet with the band, and an intimate acoustic performance at the meet and greet. VIP package holders will also be entered to win one of 10 mysterious and very exclusive Golden Tickets.
Tickets to the Prince George concert on Feb. 8, 2018 will go on sale Sept. 29.
